I knowww man, would've been so crazy to see. Imagine, if Rises were a two-parter, we could have had more Scarecrow to finally do him justice, meaning potentially that picture you like as a result, and we could have also had the whole 'catch me if you can' Catwoman/Batman thing that was missing from the film.

And hey, Bane could've had more time to make more of a philosophical point, had a stronger climax in that regard like he deserved, and stood up taller in his own boots. Fans would have like zero room to be disappointed at missed potential. You wouldn't have even had to argue with me in the other thread at all.

Would have been lovely if Part 1 ended with Batman getting his back broken, Part 2 picked up with him waking up in the prison pit. Leave people in suspense, and the public buzzing with the first one ending on such a grisly note.
